What do you mean by popped the breaker?
Nothing is hot except the coralife timer only the part where the timer is. Both of the power bar I have are hot around the timer area. Not like MH hot but some heat. Packaging says up to 1875 watts 15 amp. So as for watts, I don't have to worry I guess? I'm assuming MH and T5HO are the high watts I have to worry about. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Assuming that part is taken care of, what if I have 4 of these plugged in the same room?
Holy ****!!! the room heater my dad told me not to plug into a power bar is rated at 1500W!!!
So worst case scenario 4 power bars rated for 1875 watts max in a room along with 1500W seperately. Is this safe?
I found this on google,
